Yes, my installation of get_iplayer v2.94 has the following sub directories:
AtomicParsley
FFmpeg [ffmpeg-2.2.3-win32-static]
LAME
lib
MPlayer
perl-licence
RTMPDump [rtmpdump-20140302-git-79459a2-win32]
VLC [vlc-2.1.5]

help from the BBC for whom get_iplayer is "not supported or condoned".

So the first the developers of get_iplayer know about changes is when they
happen. Apart from that they have to guess what might be coming next. Makes
life 'interesting'... ;-

[1] For years now I've taken it for granted that anyone working on av files
will find ffmpeg/avconv essential as a tool. Ditto for sox when working
with audio files. Being able to use these makes life a lot easier if you
need to process the files.

The SoX website appears to be down at the moment.
I'm trying to think of the things I've used Audacity for...
Deleting huge artistic silences between the visible and hidden last track of an album; and also cutting those types of tracks in two.
Reducing 24-bit 192kHz FLAC files to 24-bit 96kHz.
I've used the Amplify effect on speech files (old radio comedy), but bottled-out using it on music my files. Your thoughts concerning this would be most welcome.

Now I've opened this can of worms, here's a real-world issue which will probably never occur again.
I have a John Mayall "Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton" CD [EAN 0042284482721]
http://www.discogs.com/John-Mayall-W...release/448024
This CD contains both mono and stereo tracks which EAC has extracted to all being stereo.
I have separated the tracks into two directories:
John Mayall - 1966 - Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton (Mono), and
John Mayall - 1969 - Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton (Stereo)

I know you're aware I won't be held back by the minutiae, so whether all the tracks ultimately end up in one directory or two, those faux stereo tracks will be getting processed at some point. Before I drop them into Audacity [Tracks - Stereo Track to Mono], I would appreciate your best practice advice on what to do next.
